climate change

There has been a lot of media created around the issue of 'climate change':
Futures Forum: Climate Change: the film

With a lot of bitter argument in the English-speaking world:
Forum: "Climate science has been dragged into the American-style culture wars that are turning British intellectual life into a battlefield."

And yet it was Margaret Thatcher who both promoted research into climate change - and who voiced 'scepticism' later:
Futures Forum: The continuing politicisation of the climate change 

The UK's meteorological office 'supports' the idea:
Futures Forum: The Met Office... and Climate Change
Futures Forum: Storms and flooding >> climate change >> cutting carbon ... ... from the UK Met Office to the EU summit

What about flooding in the UK?
Futures Forum: Flooding in the West Country... and climate change
Futures Forum: Environment Secretary Owen Paterson visits Sidmouth seafront and beaches

And what about cars?
Futures Forum: What to do about car emissions ... and what to do about plane emissions ...
Futures Forum: The End of Suburbia: ten years on

What are we going to do about energy?
Futures Forum: A wind farm for the Jurassic Coast?
Futures Forum: The aesthetics of development: power plants and windfarms
Futures Forum: Tidal reef in Swansea Bay
Futures Forum: District heating systems run on waste... from Scandanavia
Futures Forum: Retrofitting housing to cut down on energy use - the options

How about 'fracking'?
Futures Forum: Fracking vs European dependence on imported Russian gas
Futures Forum: Fracking: 'the party's over': Peak Oil now forecast for 2020
